This is a comprehensive technical specification document (Exhibit H) prepared by Weston & Sampson Engineers, Inc. for the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut, detailing requirements for the Upper Havemeyer Field drainage improvements project (RFB #7945). The project encompasses field improvements including natural turf field construction, drainage system installation, seed and sod application, and replacement of the existing irrigation system. The work includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and transportation necessary to complete the project in accordance with the drawings and specifications. Key divisions of work addressed include procurement/contracting requirements, general requirements, existing conditions assessment, earthwork, exterior improvements, and utilities installation. The specifications reference numerous construction sections covering control of work and materials, special provisions, dust control, construction meetings and scheduling, submittals, traffic control signage, temporary fencing, tree protection, environmental protection, cutting and patching, cleanup, project closeout, and operations and maintenance manuals. Specific technical work includes loam and topsoil preparation, filter fabric installation, rock excavation, dewatering operations, earthwork and compaction, natural athletic field turf installation, irrigation system design and installation, seeding, sodding, tracer tape placement, precast manhole installation, polyethylene and reinforced concrete pipe installation, and PVC yard drain structure installation.
The specifications establish detailed requirements for materials, products, and execution standards across all project phases, with emphasis on quality assurance, testing, inspection, and compliance with applicable ASTM standards, Connecticut Department of Transportation specifications, and local codes. The document mandates contractor qualifications, including minimum experience requirements for specialized work such as natural turf field installation (minimum five years of experience) and irrigation system installation. Environmental protection measures are extensively detailed, including requirements for silt fencing, erosion control, dewatering discharge procedures, dust control, and protection of existing landscapes and utilities. The specifications require comprehensive submittals including shop drawings, product data, test results, soil analysis, as-built drawings prepared by Connecticut licensed surveyors, and operations and maintenance manuals in specific formats. Contractor responsibilities include maintaining construction schedules using Critical Path Method scheduling, providing project signage, conducting pre-construction and progress meetings, obtaining necessary permits, providing temporary facilities and site security with chain-link fencing, coordinating with utility companies, and maintaining the work through a one-year warranty period following substantial completion, including first-year winterization and spring start-up for the irrigation system.

PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.01 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS:
A. The network shall show the order and inter-dependence of activities and the sequence in which the work is to be accomplished as planned by the Contractor. The basic concept of a network analysis diagram shall be followed to show how the start of a given activity is dependent on the completion of preceding activities and its completion restricts the start of following activities.
B. Detailed network activities shall include: construction activities, the submittal and approval of shop drawings, the procurement of materials and equipment, fabrication of materials and equipment and their delivery, installation and testing, start-up and training.
The Contractor shall break the work into activities with durations no longer than twenty working days each, except as to non-construction activities (such as procurement of materials and delivery of equipment) and any other activities for which the Engineer may
08/11/2019 01 32 16-3 approve the showing of longer duration. To the extent feasible, activities related to a specific physical area of the work should be grouped on the network for ease of understanding and simplification.
C. Separate activities shall be provided for each significant identifiable function in each trade area in each facility. Activities shall be so identified that there will be no reasonable doubt as to how much work remains on each. Specific activities which shall be included are: all subcontract work, all interface work between subcontractors and between the Contractor and subcontractors, leakage tests of pipelines, electrical connections to each item of equipment, supplier and manufacturer technical assistance, mechanical connections to each item of equipment, all tests, concrete finishing, each item of site work, (including restraints on other activities) and all utilities, fuels and chemicals.
D. Each activity on the network shall have the following indicated on the NODE representing it.
1. A single duration (i.e., the single best estimate of elapsed time considering the scope of the work involved in the activity and the resources planned for accomplishing the activity) expressed in working days.
2. A five character (or less) code indicative of the party responsible for accomplishing the activity.
3. A cost estimate for each activity which, when accumulated with the cost of all activities, equals the total contract cost. Estimated overhead and profit shall be prorated throughout all activities. Materials costs shall be assigned to delivery activities.
4. A brief description of the activity.
E. The selection and number of activities shall be subject to the Engineer's approval. The detailed network need not be time scaled but shall be drafted to show a continuous flow from left to right with no flow from right to left. In addition to the brief description, the Contractor shall submit a separate list of all activities containing a detailed narrative of the scope of each activity, including the trades, subcontractors involved, and number of man-hours estimated.
F. To the extent that the network or any revision thereof shows anything not jointly agreed upon or fails to show anything jointly agreed upon, it shall not be deemed to have been approved by the Engineer. Failure to include on a network any element of work required for the performance of this Contract shall not excuse the Contractor from completing all work required within any applicable completion date, notwithstanding the review of the network by the Engineer.
G. Except where earlier completions are specified, CPM schedules, which show completion of all work prior to the contract completion date, may be approved by the Engineer but
08/11/2019 01 32 16-4 in no event shall they be acceptable as a basis for claim for delay against the Owner by the Contractor.
3.02 COMPUTER-GENERATED SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS:
A. Each computer-generated schedule submittal from the CPM activity network shall include the following tabulations: a list of activities in numerical order, a list of activity precedence’s, a schedule sequenced by Early Start Date and a schedule sequenced by Total Float. Each schedule shall include the following minimum items:
1. Activity numbers
2. Estimated duration
3. Activity description
4. Early start date (calendar dated)
5. Early finish date (calendar dated)
6. Latest allowable start date (calendar dated)
7. Latest allowable finish date (calendar dated)

5. The effective or starting date of the schedule.
C. The workday to calendar date correlation shall be based on an 8-hour day and 40-hour week with adequate allowance for holidays, adverse weather and all other special requirements of the work.
3.03 PROGRESS REPORTING:
08/11/2019 01 32 16-5
A. Progress under the approved CPM schedule shall be evaluated monthly by the Contractor. Not less than seven days prior to each monthly progress meeting, The Contractor shall evaluate the status of each activity on which work has started or is due to start, based on the preceding CPM schedule; to show actual progress, to identify those activities started and those completed during the previous period, to show the estimated time required to complete or the percent complete of each activity started but not yet completed and to reflect any changes indicated for the network. Activities shall not be considered complete until they are, in fact, 100 percent complete.
B. At each progress meeting the Contractor shall submit a narrative report based on the CPM schedule evaluation described above, in a format agreed upon by the Contractor and the Engineer. The report shall include a description of the progress during the previous period in terms of completed activities, an explanation of each activity which is showing a delay, a description of problem areas, current and anticipated delaying factors and their estimated impact on performance of other activities and completion dates and an explanation of corrective action taken or proposed. This report, as well as the CPM Status Report, will be discussed at each progress meeting.
3.04 RESPONSIBILITY FOR SCHEDULE COMPLIANCE:
A. Whenever it becomes apparent from the current CPM schedule and narrative report that delays to the critical path have resulted and the contract completion date will not be met, the Contractor shall take some or all of the following actions at no additional cost to the Owner. He shall submit to the Engineer for approval, a written statement of the steps he intends to take to remove or arrest the delay to the critical path in the approved schedule.
3.05 ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT SCHEDULE AND COMPLETION TIME:
A. If the Contractor desires to make changes in his method of operating which affect the approved CPM schedule, he shall notify the Engineer in writing stating what changes are proposed and the reason for the change. If the Engineer approves these changes, the Contractor shall revise and submit for approval, without additional cost to the Owner, all of the affected portions of the CPM network. The Contractor shall adjust the CPM schedule only after prior approval of his proposed changes by the Engineer.
B. If the completion of any activity, whether or not critical, falls more than 100 percent behind its approved duration, the Contractor shall submit for approval a schedule adjustment showing each such activity divided into two activities reflecting completed versus uncompleted work.
C. Shop drawings which are not approved on the first submittal or within the schedule time and equipment which do not pass the specified tests shall be immediately rescheduled.
D. The contract time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this Contract. In the event the Contractor requests an extension of any contract completion date, he shall furnish such justification and supporting evidence as the Engineer may deem necessary to determine whether the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of this Contract. The Engineer will, after receipt of such justification and supporting evidence, make findings of fact and will advise the Contractor in writing thereof. If the
08/11/2019 01 32 16-6
Engineer finds that the Contractor is entitled to any extension of any contract completion date, the Engineer's determination as to the total number of day’s extension shall be based upon the currently approved CPM schedule and on all data relevant to the extension.
Such data shall be included in the next updating of the schedule. Actual delays in activities, which, according to the CPM schedule, do not affect any contract completion date shown by the critical path in the network, will not be the basis for a change therein.
E. Each request for change in any contract completion date shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Engineer within 30 days after the beginning of the delay for which a…
